Subjective well-being of children with special educational needs: Longitudinal predictors using machine learning.

Applied psychology. Health and well-being
Children with special educational needs (SEN) are a diverse group facing numerous challenges related to well-being and mental health. Understanding the predictors of well-being in this population requires the incorporation of diverse factors along wi...

Effectiveness and Users' Perceptions of Upper Extremity Exoskeletons and Robot-Assisted Devices in Children with Physical Disabilities: Systematic Review.

Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics
AIM: Systematically determine the effectiveness and users' perceptions of upper extremity (UE) exoskeletons and robot-assisted devices for pediatric rehabilitation.

A concept for emotion recognition systems for children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities based on artificial intelligence using physiological and motion signals.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: This study proposes a concept for emotion recognition systems for children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) based on artificial intelligence (AI) using physiological and motion signals.

Assessing the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program to achieve optimal outcomes for children with disabilities.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: This study assessed the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program for children and youth with disabilities to determine the degree to which the activity setting supports the therapeutic goals of the program.

Exploring Skills Gained Through a Robotics Program for Youth With Disabilities.

OTJR : occupation, participation and health
Children with disabilities often have fewer opportunities to engage in science, technology, engineering, and math programs that can enhance their educational and career opportunities. This study explored the quality, experience, and skills learned in...

A motor learning therapeutic intervention for a child with cerebral palsy through a social assistive robot.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Children with cerebral palsy have difficulty to sit, stand, walk, run and jump independently. Therapy is an important factor in improving these aspects, and if applied in early intervention treatments, when the child is growing, it could have many b...

Exploring types of play in an adapted robotics program for children with disabilities.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Play is an important occupation in a child's development. Children with disabilities often have fewer opportunities to engage in meaningful play than typically developing children. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of play (...

Adapting a robotics program to enhance participation and interest in STEM among children with disabilities: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Youth with disabilities are under-represented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in school and in the workforce. One encouraging approach to engage youth's interest in STEM is through robotics; however, such programs are mo...

Using assistive robots to promote inclusive education.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: This paper describes the development and test of physical and virtual integrated augmentative manipulation and communication assistive technologies (IAMCATs) that enable children with motor and speech impairments to manipulate educational it...

Performing mathematics activities with non-standard units of measurement using robots controlled via speech-generating devices: three case studies.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Purpose To examine how using a Lego robot controlled via a speech-generating device (SGD) can contribute to how students with physical and communication impairments perform hands-on and communicative mathematics measurement activities. This study was...
